1. An employee with known financial issues.

2. Employees who spend lots of time alone in the office after hours.

3. Employees who come to work when visibly ill or refuse to take vacation.

4. An employee who is jumpy, territorial, or resistant to change and/or training others. Embezzlers want consistency in practice management software and accounting.

5. Employees who respond to information requests slowly.

6. An employee who portrays themselves as ideal or loyal.
